Explanation of the contents of ~4Dgifts/toolbox/public
------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains public domain/shareware/copyrighted
software obtained largely from ftp sites on the internet which
has been ported to the IRIS. It is made available to all
software developers in the Silicon Graphics Developer Program
in the hope that it will prove useful.
Disclaimer: SGI does not explicitly endorse any of the
contributed software included here.
We have not been able to perform adequate run-time testing of
this software on 5.2 Irix, but have included it since
everything here does successfully compile on 5.2 Irix. If you
find/fix any problems encountered during run-time, please let
us know via {dave@sgi.com, 415/390-3556, fax: 415/967-6239}.
As always, if you encounter problems building libraries/apps/etc.,
remember--where an Imakefile(s) exists--to backup and start over with:
xmkmf
make Makefile(s)
make depend
make
NOTE: the TeX/*.tar files are not present on v4.2. space was squeezed
past the breaking point this time, so the TeX .tar files,
unchanged since v4.1, are not included here. everyone who gets
v4.2 will also have/get v4.1 so if the TeX/*.tar files are
needed, they can be retrieved from the v4.1 CD.
`!' indicates new or updated as of version 4.2
! FTPsites : Expanded list (current as of July 28, 1994) of
visited FTP sites containing public domain software
for the SGI platform.
! FWF : ``Free Widget Foundation'' flexible widgets
compliments of the X user community.
GNU : inst-able images for GNU EMACS (version 19.22) and
src for GNUMAKE.
HPGL : some utilities for using plot files in Hewlett
Packard Graphics Language format.
ImageMagick : versions 2.3.7 of a collection of X11 image
processing and display utilities.
RTF : a formatted text display widget in the Motif
toolkit.
SciAn : a scientific visualization and animation program
primarily intended to do 3-D visualizations of data
in an interactive environment with the ability to
generate animations using frame-accurate video
recording devices.
TeX : the TeX text processing system now includes the
latest-and-greatest port to IRIX 5.2.
Xpm : XPM (PixMap) library (version 3), a format for
storing/retrieving X pixmaps to/from files, and
pixmap (version 2.0, R4/R5 version), a pixmap
editor based on XPM library.
Xprof : xprof is an X protocol profiler which reads an X
scope trace to produce a profile of requests
made by a client. xmeasure is a utility which
produces X server metrics used by xprof.
agrep : agrep (version 2.04) is a new tool for fast text
searching allowing errors. agrep is similar to
egrep (or grep or fgrep), but it is much more
general (and usually faster).
bin : public domain binaries and doc but no source.
currently this new tree contains:
* CLRpaint, "a 24-bit paint program used to cut
and paste scanned images, add titles to
screens, prepare texture maps, and to paint
your own images"
! * CLRview, "a 3D visualization program designed
to exploit the real-time capabilities of" IRIS
machines (updated to version1.77).
! * LinkWinds, a visual data analysis and exploration
system designed to rapidly and interactively
investigate large multivariate and multidisciplinary
data sets to detect trends, correlations and
anomalies. It accepts HDF, CDF, netCDF, FITS, PDS,
SGI RGB, and binary byte and floating point data.
bit : Bitmap Image Touchup image package for SGI
machines, v0.91. Package handles IRIS RGB,
CompuServ GIF, JPEG (JFIF), MPEG (read only),
PNM (ppm, pgm, pbm), PostScript/EPS, Sun
rasterfile, TIFF, and X11 Bitmaps file formats.
cdsend : reads audio CD's over SCSI, converts to a
format suitable for broadcast, and writes this
to stdout.
dbmalloc : the malloc debugging library (patchlevel 14)
with drop-in replacements for standard dynamic
memory allocation routines and many C modules
typically used to access/manipulate these data
areas. Almost identical to the original
functions, the replacements perform a
significant amount of error checking and/or
validating.
fax : Version 2.2.2 of a reasonably full-function
facsimile service for UNIX systems.
ghostscript : a language/interpreter (v2.6.1) much like
PostScript.
ghostview : a full function user interface for ghostscript.
inst : sgi inst-able images of fax, ghost[script/view],
jpeg, pbmplus and xpd.
jpeg : jpeg version 4 image compression, decompression
and display software plus CLR library additions.
oneko : cat or dog chases the mouse around the screen.
pure X application does a MARVELOUS job with
X bitmaps/bitmasks to produce cat-chasing-a-
mouse or dog-chasings-a-bone "cursor keeper".
patch : automagically inserts the contents of software
update context diffs into the original source.
pbmplus : contains many small programs to to convert
from one image format to a "standard" format.
And then from that standard format to many of
other formats.
! plan : a schedule planner based on X/Motif. It displays
a month calendar similar to xcal, but every day
box is large enough to show appointments in small
print. By pressing on a day box, the appointments
for that day can be listed and edited.
version 1.3.1, released 7/11/94.
! psgl : 5/29/94 Version 2.0 Beta of a software package in sgi
inst-image format (man pages, src, relnotes) to
intercept all your GL calls and convert them into
encapsulated postscript (EPS) commands.
radio : enables listening to audio transmitted as UDP
packets on a local area network by broadcast.
! rayshade : [v4.0.6] a ray tracing prog, reads a multi-line ASCII
file describing a scene to be rendered, and modified to
output images in SGI RGB format using libimage instead
of the rayshade standard which is Utah Raster format.
rsynth : Rsynth .9 - Synthesized Speech - SGI port, enables
the user to enter text and have the program speak
the words.
sgiCD : two progs based on the SGI CD audio library:
one gives basic info about an audio disk, the
other plays an audio CD loaded in an SGI CDrom
drive through the SGI Indigo's speaker (i.e. the
libcdaudio routines are used to read the digital
data directly from the CD, and play the samples
through the Audio Processor).
shar : utility for building a shell archive.
sox : SOund eXchange - universal sound sample translator
provides translators for sound samples between
different file formats (Sound Blaster .VOC files,
IRCAM SoundFile files, SUN Sparcstation .au files,
mutant DEC .au files, Apple/SGI AIFF files,
Macintosh HCOM files, Sounder files, and Soundtool
(DOS) files) and performs various sound effects
including changing the sample rate, adding echo
delay lines, applying low- and band-pass filtering,
and the infamous Fender Vibro effect.
tarmail : a utility for conveniently sending files
through e-mail.
tuner : a motif-based "tuner" for ethernet radio stations.
vis5d : Version 3.3 of a system for visualizing data made
by numerical weather models and similar sources,
and includes the vis5d visualization program,
several programs for managing and analyzing five-
dimensional data grids, and instructions and sample
source code for converting your data into its file
format, all wrapped up/shrunken down into a tar'd
and compressed image.
xcdplayer : X window system interface to run the sun or sgi
cdrom drive as a typical audio CD player.
! xdbx : sgi-instable images containing the necessary images
to install executable copies of xdbx on an SGI
workstation running IRIX 5.2+
xpd : the graphical front end to the perl debugger. This
has been worked up as a set of sgi inst images. We
no longer include the perl software as it is now
bundled as eoe2.sw.gifts_perl in 5.1 Irix.
